Hey all, I've updated this version of COH to my modded version of VT:S, optimised assets, and brought in some other minor fixes. This is all because:

CHILDREN OF HELL is looking for a publisher

In the advent of getting absolutely no studio work, over 80 job rejections, I'm now saying fuck it and trying to commit to my solo career in full. I'm hoping to bank on the fact that my games' only main cost is me, and a soundtrack from my dear friend and frequent collaborator Dagny. COH in particular is also hoping to enlist some incredible video animation work from Jack Flash.

The current scope of COH sees a fully expanded story across 4 acts, 4 paths, POVs from all 4 members of Z.A.C.K., and upwards of 8 endings, all with the same intensity and catharsis you've seen from the jam version. I'm going to be formally announcing this in the coming weeks, once extra art and the pitchdeck is ready to go.

So, if you're a publisher looking for a weird and completely unique narrative game, with a story and voice that have captivated everyone who's played it (for better and for worse), with a 1 year dev cycle under £50k, get in touch.

I'm not a publisher; what can I do to help?

Right now, I'm accepting donations through ko-fi to help push me to fully independent indie dev. This is an extreme longshot, hence the hunt for a publisher, but if everyone who played COH donated £3, I would be fully financed for the foreseeable future. Both for COH and any future projects.

If you donate or subscribe on ko-fi, you get access to the early release channel in my Discord, and in the coming weeks will have access to the a vertical slice (~10m) of COH's first chapter, elevated to release quality. It hits four major scenes, and features the incredible work of Dagny and Jack mentioned above. With hopeful funding, the final version of chapter 1 will be released as a free demo.

If you don't have the means to support me financially, the biggest thing you can do right now is spread the word around. Post about the jam version. Share it with your communities and on socials. Get your friends excited about it. Any and all buzz has an immeasurable impact on this game's chances at succeeding.

So, I'm going to be spending my time pitching my heart out, and hoping someone bites.

Have a good one.
